This week’s list of rare kicks really places an emphasis on sneakers which deviate from the norm, whether in terms of overall design, surprising color patterns, or unfamiliar textures.

When Tinker Hatfield took over the Air Jordan line in 1988 with the legendary Jordan III, he immediately introduced exotic materials (elephant print) and technological breakthroughs (Nike Air technology). It shot the brand into the stratosphere and the brand continued to push the envelope with outside-the-box design and fresh materials as the years progressed. That’s what we’re seeing right now–hungry creators who won’t be bound by the unspoken rules of sneaker design.

Now the market welcomes a satin touch-up of a Jordan I, which may have been viewed as sacrilege at one point in time. Basketball players can now wear any color sneaker on the court, not just team-centric colorways, so we’re seeing every hue from the spectrum on the hardwood at NBA games. Now when designers take on an iconic sneaker, they treat it with respect and use some of the best materials at their disposal, just like Tinker did 30 years ago.

Never forget: No online retailer has the same breadth and depth of selection as Grailed. From silky white Air Forces to futuristic tactical sock runners (and everything in between), in no particular order, these are our picks for the Rarest Sneakers on Grailed This Week.

Clot x Nike Air Force 1 “1WORLD”

Year: 2018Listing Price: $1,332Size: 6

Decked in a patterned white silk, this Clot Air Force 1 is a real luxurious take on the classic triple white silhouette. Originally collaborating on a predominantly red Air Force 1 in 2009, Hong Kong-based Clot kicked it up a notch a decade later with some ultra-premium materials. This listing features a tearaway upper which hides an intricate gold design and is topped off with a clear rubber sole. Clot doubled down on this lush look this past October with the release of their “Blue Silk” Air Force 1. But while we wait for those to release stateside, satisfy your elevated appetite with this equally dope 2018 release.

Jordan I Satin “Royal”

Year: 2017Listing Price: $1,800Size: 9.5

Sticking with the silky theme is this satin version of the iconic “Royal” Jordan I. The satin variations have become extremely popular as of late, most recently with the “Black Toe” version selling out over the summer. Only 701 pairs of this Royal listing were originally released, and they could only be found at two long standing Jordan Brand accounts: Walter’s in Atlanta and Active Athlete in Houston. You had to be in the right place at the right time to secure these classics the first time around, so here’s your chance to remedy that.

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High “Orange”

Year: 2003Listing Price: $1,500Size: 10

Released originally in 2003 as the sophomore collab between Nike and Supreme, these orange Dunk Highs remain some of the most sought after kicks from their epic partnership. Decked in premium leather construction with croc patterns along the orange Swoosh and overlays, these are the perfect blend of skate and high-fashion–Supreme’s sweet spot. Finished off with a gold star pattern, these relics from the early days of Nike’s Supreme collaborations are must-haves for all the out there.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Piet Mondrian”

Year: 2008Listing Price: $1,000Size: 9

Playing on the primary colors of red, white and blue, this Nike SB Dunk pays homage to Dutch painter Piet Mondrian and his brand of modern art. The sneaker is literally a blank white canvas upper with suede along the colored in sections, all of which are separated by sharp black lines. A pioneer of modern abstract art, Mondrian worked with the primary colors seen on this sneaker in post-war Paris, using many brightly colored, sharply distinct, rectangular designs. It’s an awesome design and a rare find, one that doesn’t pop up all that often on Grailed.

Nike SB Dunk High “Hulk”

Year: 2003Listing Price: $900Size: 9.5

These premium SBs from 2003 are inspired by the most mercurial Avenger, The Incredible Hulk. These originally released alongside four other Dunks in March 2003, with this one landing completely decked in all different shades of green suede. We’ve talked in the past about how we can never tell what sneakers are going to be popular years from now, and this is a perfect example of how a sneaker can find new life on the secondary market. Originally flying under the radar, this Hulk Dunk is now a sought after piece of SB nostalgia. Take advantage of this second chance to grab an underrated pair of SBs.

Ronnie Fieg x BAPE Bapesta “Fiegsta”

Year: 2016Listing Price: $1,500Size: 9.5

These triple white Ronnie Fieg-designed “Fiegstas” were handmade in Portugal with a tumbled leather construction–a real premium feel for his highly anticipated collaboration with BAPE in 2016. The collab features co-branding on the heels (both BAPEsta and FIEGsta) and box, with custom shoe trees and dust bags. There was an equally lavish tan suede pair which released alongside this iteration, but it’s hard to top a pair of all-white Bapestas (or the sneaker it draws all its inspiration from, the Air Force 1). Anything with Fieg’s name attached adds a certain amount of cachet to it, but this is one of the rarest sneaker collabs he’s ever released.

Kaws x BAPE Bapesta “Grey Chompers”

Year: 2006Listing Price: $405Size: 10.5

Bapestas don’t often get a lot of love in this series (unless it’s the College Dropouts), but this collab is one worth addressing. Back in 2006, BAPE released a series of “Chompers” with world-renowned artist KAWS. The sneakers came in a wide range of colors and featured teeth designs all along the toe boxes on the shoes. This gray version is one of the most sought after pairs from the collection and an artifact from a time in streetwear culture when KAWS and BAPE were dominant forces in the industry.

Nike Air Fear of God 1 “Frosted Spruce”

Year: 2019Listing Price: $410Size: 13

When Jerry Lorenzo, the mind behind Fear of God, set out to make his own basketball sneaker with Nike, he really focused on the details. What came out was a revolutionary sneaker that received both acclaim as a performance sneaker and love in the streets. This “Frosted Spruce” depiction is a far cry from the original black and white releases, as the color is not just striking—but is delivered in a completely tonal colorway. The kicks feature a mesh upper, a Huarache Light-inspired heel cage and a back zipper, complete with Zoom Air cushioning. On the court or off, these are a must have for any fan of Lorenzo’s brand of elevated essentials.

Kaws x Jordan IV “Cool Grey”

Year: 2017Listing Price: $1,650Size: 8.5

Making his second appearance on this week’s list, KAWS (Brian Donnelly) collaborated with Jordan Brand for two premium renditions of the classic Jordan IV back in 2017. This grey version is covered completely in a patterned grey suede upper with KAWS’ signature “XX AIR” branding on the heels, matching grey suede hangtag and glow in the dark soles. Released in extremely limited quantities, these were only available via KAWS’ website and at select retailers; they remain a difficult cop for sneakerheads.

Alyx x Nike Free TR Flyknit 3

Year: 2019Listing Price: $668Size: 9.5

Designer Matthew Williams and his brand, Alyx, brought his trademark brand of technical functionality to this bold Nike Free TR 3 design back in May. As one of the most influential designers and collaborators at the moment, Williams outfitted the sock-like runner with a portable Vibram sole and translucent panels along the side. With velcro straps, there are no laces anywhere to be found and minimal Swoosh branding throughout. Williams stands apart as contemporary designer fusing both high fashion and techwear, and this sneaker embodies his approach towards both fashion footwear and practical performance materials.
